Introduction
This manual covers the installation of the Allegiant® LTC 8900 Series systems. Information on
system operation and information on the PC software package (if applicable) are covered in
their own respective manuals. Keep these and other manuals which are supplied along with
the various accessory devices available for reference during system installation and
configuration.
Description
The Allegiant LTC 8900 Series is a state-of-the-art video switching and control system for
indoor use only. It is the highest-capacity system in the Allegiant family. The system can switch
and control up to 4096 cameras to 512 monitors. It is also compatible with all the existing
accessories currently available in the Allegiant product line. Various system capacity
configurations are illustratedin , page 68 through , page 68.
Features
The LTC 8900 system can be purchased in either one of two design configurations: standard
and redundant. The standard configuration includes the LTC 8904 Series type CPU, which
contains a single CPU module and a single power supply. If maximum reliability is required,
the system can be purchased to include the LTC 8901 Series CPU which contains dual CPU
modules and dual power supplies. This redundant system design option includes an industrial
model PC, which enables the system to provide automatic switchover in case of failure of the
primary CPU module or of the CPU power supply.
The LTC 8900 Allegiant series systems can accommodate multiple operator keyboards and a
computer system console. They can also accommodate 2048 alarm points. All 2048 alarm
points are available through RS-232 command input; up to 1024 alarm points are available
through contact closure inputs using LTC 8540/00 alarm units and LTC 8713/00 Series port
expander units. In addition, the Allegiant Series have a Satellite configuration capability
through which the system can communicate with up to 256 remote combinations of Allegiant
Series switchers. In standard system configurations, the user can add a Windows®-based PC
to simplify programming of the system using either the supplied LTC 8059 Master Control
Software for Windows package or the optional LTC 8850 GUI software package. In the
redundant design configuration, the system is programmed and continuously monitored using
the supplied LTC 8943/95 System Controller Pentium® PC.
Using the PC-based software, user passwords can be utilized, providing an added measure of
system security; various lockout tables restricting user access to cameras, monitors,
keyboards, and remote camera control are easily programmed using the PC-based software
package. The PC software also supports up to 128 different time-activated events, providing
automated control of video sequencing, monitor message broadcasts, receiver/driver
functions, sophisticated alarm control, powerful system macro capabilities, and several other
functions.
Even with its sophistication, the Allegiant LTC 8900 system is designed for the novice user.
The ergonomic keyboard design contains many user-friendly but powerful functions. A user
can choose from up to 256 sequences that are stored in memory, select any of the cameras to
view on any of the monitors, and take exclusive control of remote pan/tilt camera functions
right from the keyboard. Each monitor can display a system status overlay showing alarm
status, sequence conditions, time/date, and camera information.
The Allegiant LTC 8900 Series systems represent a dramatic breakthrough in CCTV switcher/
controllers, and are backed by years of expertise in designing and manufacturing closed circuit
video equipment.

configuration information such as camera tables, alarm tables, sequences, etc. It is also the
connection interface to the various external Allegiant Series accessory products such as
keyboards, alarm interfaces, signal distribution units, etc. One LTC 8904 Series CPU bay per
system is required. An LTC 8904 Series CPU bay includes one power supply (LTC 8905), one
CPU module (LTC 8910), and a relay module (LTC 8917).
LTC 8901 Series CPU Bay
(Applicable to redundant system configurations only.)
This unit is similar to the standard LTC 8904 Series CPU, except it utilizes a redundant design
architecture. The LTC 8901 Series provides hot standby features with redundant power
supplies and CPU boards. In conjunction with the supplied System Controller PC, the LTC
8901 Series system is capable of automatic detection of a main power supply or CPU fault and
automatic switch over to the backup.
The unit also features the patented data mirroring technology, which allows the backup CPU
to constantly maintain the same state as the main CPU. Downloaded tables into the primary
CPU are automatically transferred to the backup CPU. Unlike competitive systems, data
transfers to the backup LTC 8901 Series CPU are automatically verified to ensure accuracy.
With this feature, if the main CPU fails, the backup CPU will be in the exact same state that
the main CPU was in prior to failure - all appropriate video will be on the monitors, sequences
will be running, alarms will be active, etc. One LTC 8901 Series CPU bay per system is
required. An LTC 8901 Series CPU bay includes two power supplies (LTC 8905), two CPU
modules (LTC 8910), and a relay module (LTC 8917).

General Installation Considerations
(Refer to Hardware Installation Procedure for Redundant System Configuration Utilizing LTC 8901
Series CPU, page 33, for Installation Procedure for redundant system configurations using
LTC 8901 Series CPU.)
Notice!
Do Not Apply power to equipment until instructed to do so.
To facilitate system installation, it is highly recommended to install the system components
using these guidelines: �
1. The main system components are designed to be rack-mounted into standard 19in. EIA
racks. Remove the 4 rubber bumper foot pads found on the bottoms of the bays before
installing them. Four (4) holes are provided for mounting the bays in the rack. Rack-
mounting screws and associated hardware are NOT included.
2. If possible, rack the LTC 8902 Series bays so they are in a central location with respect to
the LTC 8903 Series bays. This is especially important in large system configurations
where many LTC 8903 Series Input Bays will be feeding video to a single or a few LTC
8902 Series Output Bays.
NOTE: Interconnecting LTC 8902 Series bays and LTC 8903 Series bays must be located
close enough together that the supplied 2 m (6 ft) video interconnect cables can be used.
Although it is not an absolute requirement, the matrix bay video interconnect cabling will
be easier to manage if the LTC 8902 Series Bays are mounted higher up in the rack above
any LTC 8903 Series Input Bays.
3. Camera and monitor video connections are NOT made directly to the LTC 8902 Series
and LTC 8903 Series matrix bays. All external video connections are made to LTC
8808/00 Video Interconnect Panels. Each LTC 8808/00 panel accepts up to 32 video
connections and interfaces to the various matrix bays using 2 LTC 8809/00 video ribbon
cables. The LTC 8808/00 panels can be mounted wherever convenient as long as they are
within 2 m (6 ft) of the matrix bay that they are being used with 2 m (6 ft) is the length of
the LTC 8809/00 ribbon cable).
4. Install the LTC 8902 Series and LTC 8903Series matrix bays close enough to the systems
LTC 8946/93 LAN switch(es) so that the supplied 8 m (25 ft) LAN cables can be used. If
necessary due to unusual installation conditions, longer standard 10/100 Base-T LAN
cables should be obtained from a local computer hardware supplier.
5. Once installed, some care is necessary to avoid damage to the connectors on the matrix
bays to which the LTC 8809/00 ribbon cables are attached. The ribbon cable connectors
contain locking hooks which can be damaged if too much strain is put on the ribbon
cables. If necessary, support the LTC 8809/00 cables to eliminate excessive loading force
on the locking hooks.

LTC 8934/00 Video Output Modules
The appropriate number of LTC 8934/00 Video Output Modules should be installed in the LTC
8902 Series main bay starting with the left most slot. Each output module handles 8 outputs.
If fewer than the maximum number of Video Output Modules are installed, they should be
installed from left to right, with empty spaces on the right.
In some system configurations, 8 or less LTC 8934/00 modules may be distributed between
two (2) LTC 8902 Series Video Output bays. This configuration assures partial system
operation in the unlikely event of an LTC 8902 Series failure. Since this creates a gap in the
monitor number order, the optional Allegiant PC-based system software allows renumbering
of the logical monitor numbers. For example, if the system was designed for 64 monitor
outputs, four LTC 8934/00 modules (handling monitors 1 to 32) would be installed in the first
LTC 8902 Series bay. Another four LTC 8934/00 modules would be installed in a second LTC
8902 Series bay.

The default monitor number range for this second module would be 65 to 96. Since this would
be inconvenient to operators of the system, the logical numbers of the monitor numbers in the
second bay can be renumbered to range from 33 to 64 using the optional Allegiant PC-based
system software. , page 37 shows an example of this type of configuration. It is also possible
to number the monitors so that one bay contains the odd numbered monitors and the other
bay contains even numbered monitors. This way, a viewing location containing an even mix of
monitors from each bay would lose every other one in the unlikely event of a LTC 8902 Series
bay failure.
Figure 5.6: Typical Video Output Module Insertion
The LTC 8934/00 Video Output Modules contain five (5) 8-position dip switches. DIP switch
S1001 is reserved and all switches should be left in the ON position.
Dip switches S1002, S1003, S1004, and S1005 are video termination switches for each of the
video bus inputs. All of these switches should be set to ON (terminated). This is the factory
default.
All LTC 8934/00 Video Output Modules are identical and can be swapped anywhere within the
bay without changing the module.
5.10
LTC 8921/00 Video Input Modules
For the LTC 8903 Series Bays, termination switches (S1001 through S1004) on the LTC
8921/00 Video Input Modules must be set to the correct position prior to installation. Read
the Termination Practices section prior to actually installing the Video Input Modules on these
systems. As shipped from the factory, all terminated switches are in the ON (terminated)
position.
Locate and use the diagram(s) that best fit your system configuration (, page 68 to , page
68 in this manual). The appropriate number of Video Input Modules (LTC 8921/00) should be
installed in the LTC 8903 Series main bay, starting with the left most slot. Each input module
handles 32 inputs by 32 outputs.
Since the LTC 8903 Series supplies 64 outputs, two (2) LTC 8921/00 input cards are required
for each set of 32 cameras. Odd numbered slots provide video for monitors 1-32, and even
numbered slots provide video for monitors 33-64. If 32 or less monitors are being served by
the LTC 8903 Series bay, the Video Input Modules are not required in the even numbered
slots. This concept is shown in , page 68 and examples of system configurations are shown
in , page 68.
Cards in even numbered slots should have all termination switches OFF. If looping is not being
used, cards in odd numbered slots should have the termination switches ON. See Termination
Practices for more details.

System Video Connections
Camera Input Connections
Camera connections to the LTC 8903 Series Input Bays require LTC 8808/00 Video
Interconnect (Patch) Panel. Each patch panel provides 32 BNCs for video input or video
looping connections to the system. Patch panels are connected to the rear of the LTC 8903
Series Input Bay using the supplied LTC 8809/00 ribbon cables. Each cable can carry video for
up to 16 cameras. Two cables can be attached to each patch panel to support up to 32
cameras per panel. Each ribbon cable should be attached to the appropriate VIDEO IN
connector on the rear of the LTC 8903 Series bays. A rear panel diagram of the LTC 8903
Series bay is shown in , page 68. Refer to , page 68 to , page 68 to review typical system
connections.
The LTC 8809/00 ribbon cables have keyed connectors on each end. Maintain correct
polarity when connecting system components.
Although attaching a ribbon cable with reversed polarity will not cause permanent damage,
it can cause all video functions within the bay to cease until corrected. Double-check ribbon
cable connections to avoid this condition.
, page 68 illustrates the polarity key orientations on the LTC 8902 and LTC 8903 Series video
matrix bays.
The LTC 8808/00 panels are typically installed on the rear of the mounting rack, behind the
applicable matrix bay. They can be mounted elsewhere as long as the 2 m (6 ft) LTC 8809/00
ribbon cables can reach the applicable matrix bay. Note that rackmounting screws and
associated hardware are NOT included.
The Video Input connectors are labeled with multiple levels. If more than 256 cameras are
used in a system, multiple levels of input bays are used. These system configurations are
shown in , page 68 through , page 68.

these connections.
Multiple Monitor Bay Consideration
If multiple monitor bays are used in the system, the LTC 8903 Series Input Bay configuration
must be duplicated for each output bay. This is illustrated in system configuration diagrams ,
page 68 through , page 68. The video inputs from the first set of LTC 8903 Series Input
Bays must be looped through to the second set of input bays using LTC 8809/00 coax ribbon
cables.
The LTC 8903 Series bays provide looping connectors for these connections. The supplied
ribbon cable connectors are connected from the LOOP outputs of the first set of input bays to
the corresponding VIDEO IN connectors on the next set of input bays using LTC 8809/00
ribbon cables. This looping can continue as needed. The termination switches on the LTC
8921/00 Video Input Cards must be turned OFF in all LTC 8903 Series Input bays except those
in the last set (assuming the system will NOT have video looping connections).

Termination Practices
Video from every camera should be terminated with a 75 ohm resistance. Each video line
should be terminated exactly once. If video from a camera is going to several devices, only the
last piece of equipment on the video line should be terminated.
See , page 68 through , page 68 for proper termination practices. Allegiant LTC 8900
systems terminate their video inputs as follows:
LTC 8903 Series Terminations
Each LTC 8921/00 VIM card has DIP switches (S1001 through S1004) for selecting the
termination of each video line. To terminate an input line, make sure that the appropriate DIP
switch on the VIM card is ON. If non-terminated operation is required for looping purposes,
turn the switch OFF.
Each LTC 8921/00 VIM card provides outputs for 32 monitors. The LTC 8903 Series bay
provides 64 outputs, two LTC 8921/00 VIM cards for each 32 inputs (when more than 32
monitors are being served by the LTC 8903 Series bay). In this case, inputs are shared by
adjacent cards. The cards in slots one and two handle inputs 1-32, the cards in slots three and
four handle inputs 33-64, etc,. Since each input goes to two cards, only one of the two cards
should be terminated. Although either card in a pair can be terminated, it is recommended
that cards in the odd number slots are terminated (dip switches ON), and cards in even
numbered slots are unterminated.
The LTC 8903 Series Input Bay provides video looping connections which use LTC 8809/00
coax type ribbon cables. Each LTC 8809/00 cable provides looping capability for up to 16
video inputs. The termination switches on the LTC 8921/00 cards should be OFF for all LTC
8903 Series Input bays except those in the last set (assuming the system will NOT have video
looping connections). In the last bay, the termination switches should be set to ON in even
numbered slots (as described in the preceding paragraph).
If the system will have some or all video inputs looped out, all termination switches
corresponding to the looped video channels should be set to OFF in all LTC 8903 Series bays.

5.12.3
2016.04 | 10.7 | F.01U.323.096 Installation Manual Bosch Security Systems, Inc.
Second Level LTC 8903 Series Terminations
When more than 1024 cameras are used, two levels of LTC 8903 Series bays are required. In
this case the LTC 8903 Series bays in the first level are terminated as described above. In the
second level LTC 8903 Series bay, the termination switches should be turned ON on all cards.
Note that in the secondary level, LTC 8903 Series cards are inserted only into slots 1, 4, 5, 8,
9, 12, 13, and 16 as depicted in , page 68 through , page 68, , page 68, and , page 68.
LTC 8902 Series Terminators
Dip switches S1002, S1003, S1004, and S1005 on the LTC 8934/00 Video Output Module are
video termination switches. All of these switches should be set to ON (terminated). This
factory default correctly terminates the outputs of the LTC 8903 Series bays into a 75 ohm
load.
Just like camera inputs, monitor outputs on the Allegiant system are designed to be
terminated. Each monitor output from the LTC 8902 Series bay expects to be connected to a
75 ohm load. This is the load typically provided by a normal monitor. If a monitor output line is
looped through several monitors or other equipment, make sure that only the last unit on the
line is terminated.
